Great American novelist Arthur Whitney has been murdered at his own birthday party, and his killer could be any one of the guests. But this is no ordinary murder mystery. The entire world of this hilarious musical is brought to life by two incredible performers: one plays the detective, the other plays all 10 suspects, and both play the piano!  Murder for Two is an irrepressibly wacky tour-de-force musical that NewYork1 proclaimed  "a must-see 90-minute jolt of caffeinated creativity!"
